RECORDS RIGHT SO FAR
Government May Make Effort to
Induce Financier to Suspend
Business.
BOSTON. Mass., Augr. 2. (Special.)
After nine hours of payments to
over 100 note holders, who made de
mands today, Charles Ponzi, seem
ingrly an amazing: financial genius,
left his ofices at the Securities Ex
change company with a smile as se
rene as ever beamed from his face.
He had met every financial demand
upon him; he had been in conference
with the attorney-g-enerar of - the
state; he had talked on the long
distance telephone with friends and
clients in distant parts of the country,
and he had seen his available cask re
duced by many thousands, yet he was
still serene. That is the story of the
day in connection with Charles Ponzi
and his mysterious "get-rich-quick"
plan.
His business office opened an hour
earlier than usual. The line of note
holders was already besieging- his of
fice, and in a short time it extended
along the corridors and downstairs to
the street floor out through an un
occupied store on Pie alley, formerly
used as the famous Bell-in-Hand sa
loon, and then into City Hall avenue.
All day long this line continued. It
moved at the rate of 45 an hour.
Pons. Hailed as Great Man.
"Very strangely, the publication In a
morning newspaper that Ponzi was in
solvent failed to affect the note t-old-ers
very seriously. Instead if te.'iev
ing the charge, many of those in line
expressed the utmost confidence in
the Italian operator and his methods,
and only words of condemnation were
expressed for the writer of the news
paper charge. Once, wh;o Ponzi ap
peared In the corridor, he was hailed
as the greatest of Italians.
"No," quickly r-es-.i jndsd Ponzi,
"Christopher Columbus, who discov
ered the new world. Is the greatest,
and Marconi, who discovered wireless
telegraphy, is the next."
"Then you Sire the third," shouted
the enthusiastic admirer.
About 5:30 tonight Ponzi, with his
counsel, went to- the state house and
met J. Weston Allen, attorney-general.
They were closeted for an hour
and a half. When It was over Mr.
Ponzf was still smiling.
"Will you continue payments to
morrow?" a newspaper man asked
.him.
"Why not?" was the quick reply
by Ponzi, with a significant shrug of
the shoulders.
Ponzi Ceases Imiue of Note.
But as to the nature of the confer
ence there was no statement forth
coming, either from Mr. Ponzi or the
attorney-general.' When asked as to
the result of the conference, Mr. Ponzi
referred the questioner to his coun
sel, who in turn referred him to the
attorney -general.
The latter declined to make a state
went, giving as a reason that he had
r.ot been able to read over a transcript
of the testimony out of the confer
ence.
Vet, from subsequent answers made
by the attorney-general it was de
duced that an effort might be made
by the government to induce Ponzi
to suspend business.
At the request of the authorities
Ponzi has already ceased issuing
Tiotes. Now the authorities would
rke him to cease making payments.
On just what grounds this latter
request should be based is not yet
clear, but it was intimated that the
authorities have some doubt as to
Ponzi's ability to pay ail claims in
full, and that If a day of reckoning
is about to come, it would be better
for everybody to stop the outflow
of money immediately.
No Fraud Found Yet.
Earlier in the day, Edwin L.. Pride,
who is auditing Ponzi's accounts, and
Postoffice Inspector Dakin were in
conference with Mr. Shea, and imme
diately afterward Chief Postoffice In
spector Mosby, the Washington rep
resentative of the attorney-general,
and several? postoffice inspectors who
have been working on the case for
the past three months, went into i
private conference in Mr. Shea's of
fice, with a view to taking steps at
once calculated to settle public opin
ion, and to test the legality of Ponzi's
business.
Mr. Pride asserted that nothing of
a criminal nature had so far been
revealed by the audit, and that it
would be impossible to speak defi
nitely as to the honesty or dishonesty
di me dub ness until Bucn Time as t-ne
books and accounts have been thor
oughly audited.
He said there are three things he
is seeking First, to learn where the
money came from ; how it has been
paid out, and whether or not Ponzi is
insolvent.

they state, telling one of his customers
to call and get his money.
. This simple letter, they assert. Is
sufficient to allow the government to
proceed on the charge of using the
mails in a scheme to defraud, and this,
they point out, would suspend opera
tions and bring in the desired infor
mation, as depositors will never di
vulge anything while Ponzi is paying
if his customers.
In a statement given out today Mr.
Ponzi said: "As far as being insolvent.
absolutely deny the allesrition. Since
the responsibility of deciding this is
sue is today in the hands of Mr. Pride,
the auditor appointed by the United
States authorities, I feel any state
ment coming from any other source
than Mr. Pride should be taken en

AUDITORIUM OXE OP BEST
JOBS IX CITY, SAYS ALBEE.
Committee Hears Testimony to De
cide' Claim of Contractors for
Payment of $70,000. -
- Praise " for the excellent-1 construe- j
tion of the city auditorium was given
by M. K.' Albee, former mayor, in tes
tifying 'before the auditorium claims
committee 'at its hearing last night.
I think we got one of the best
jobs ever put up In this city," he said
on direct examination.
"You think, on the whole,-that it
was a good Job?"
"Oh, indeed, I do." was his answer.
The former mayor then related that
while he was chief executive he had
given assurance to Hans Pederson,
the auditorium contractor, that so
far as he was concerned, the con
tractor should not suffer any loss by
reason of an error in calculation,
which was at issue at one time before
the council.
M. H. Whitehouse, architect, who
represented an eastern firm of arch
itects, resumed the giving of testi
mony on both direct and cross-examination.
One criticism he offered was
that Pederson did not watch his sulr
contractors closely enough.
The committee is hearing evidence
to 'decide a claim for approximately
(70.000, which Pf.derson is seeking
from the ' city. Delays, change? in
construction and other errors he says
he could not control are g'ven as a
basis for ,this claim. '

BRITAIN TO AID GERMANY
Big Advance Voted to Enable Xa
tion to Pay Debts.
LONDON, Aug. 2. The vote for an
advance of 5,000.000 to Germany in
connection -with the Spa coal agree
ments came up tonight in the house of
commons. It was agreed to without
revision. Labor members welcomed
in the proposition' what they charac
terized as a "sensible change in the
government policy toward Germany
and a practical revision of the un
workable Versailles treaty."
Premier Lloyd George said the pro
posal for obtaining coal was Vuch
better than sending & large and costly
army for it. He argued that Germany
must pay her debts either in gold or
goods. She had no goods, he de
clared, but coal was the, equivalent
of gold.
"However," the premier' added,
Germany is unable to prodirce suffi
cient coal, while her population is un
fit and ill fed. Hence she must be
helped."

TROUBLE IS, your system is
clogged with a lot of impurities that your
over-worked digestive and eliminative organs
can't get rid of. Pills, oil, salts, calomel and ordi
nary laxatives, cathartics and purges only force the
bowels and prod the liver.
Nature's Rem y(NR Tablets) acts on the stomach,
liver, bowels and even kidneys, not forcing, but ton
ing and strengthening these organs. The result is
prompt relief and real, lasting benefit. Make the test.
Nature's Remedy will act promptly, thoroughly, yet
so mildly, so gently, that you will think nature her
self has come to the rescue and is doing the work.
